St. Petersburg: Lutheran Quarter Walking Tour with Audio Guide

We invite you to a walk through the territory that has united the Protestants of St. Petersburg of the XVIII century.

Interactive walk "Lutheran Quarter" will allow to learn about the life of foreigners in the new city of Russia, St. Petersburg.

There were so many people wishing to move and visit St. Petersburg that it was decided to let them settle "abroad" of the city, across the Moika River. This is how the German Sloboda (a type of settlement) and various communities appeared: Dutch, Finnish, Swedish, French, Austrian, and many others.

We will tell you about the life and leisure of new residents, their role in the social life of the city, and pay special attention to the famous cathedrals and churches, now located in the heart of St. Petersburg.

You will find out what institutions were in churches during the Soviet period, what happened to the Swedish and Finnish parishes. You will also learn where the famous chess player Chigorin played chess for money, when the first pedestrian street appeared in St. Petersburg, and what a dainty is truly St. Petersburg.
